GOING:

Race 5 1600m

Track:      

Cesa Song, Tosano Shujinko and Country Victor can set a genuine tempo. MORINO CARNIVAL (2) built on a nice second when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track with success as public elect over 1400m at this track a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. TOSANO SHUJINKO (3) was narrowly beaten last time when second over 1400m at Himeji. Stepping up in distance now which looks a nice option. Winning chance. CHURA RIVAL (1) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a neck over 1400m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a lovely run and he cannot be underestimated. CESA SONG (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. This looks a good race for him and he is one of the key runners.
